pacapt is a lightweight shell script that provides a unified interface to various package managers across different Unix-like systems. By emulating the command syntax of Arch Linux's pacman, it allows users to perform package management tasks consistently, regardless of the underlying system. This tool simplifies the user experience for those who work across multiple distributions and prefer a standardized command set.​

Features

  • Emulates pacman command syntax for consistency
  • Supports multiple package managers (apt, yum, brew, etc.)
  • Lightweight and portable (approximately 56KB)
  • Facilitates package installation, removal, and updates
  • Compatible with Linux, BSD, macOS, and more
  • Simplifies cross-distribution package management
  • Open-source under the MIT license​
